Let's Discuss the Developer's Plans.

I've edited my post. It seems that i didn't look quite properly.  :P It's Thunder m4 that hits 85-110 after the new balance. Thunder m3 will hit 64-90 which still makes you able to kill Hornet m3 if you're standing close enough to him. 

Okay. Thanks. It still sounds good cuz M4 Thunder (i.e. max MU on M3) now hits only 70-90. It is around +20%  :D.

[J.G.S.D.F 73]

The reload is the worst thing now, Thunder M3s reload will go become something like now's thunder M0 reload :wacko:

Id prefer my fast/weak thunder to a slow/powerful thunder any time  :P

So, they will add around 1 sec to the Thunder reload; it is better than what I am worrying: 2 sec. Mathematically, Thunder will still be nerfed because the damage will be 20% up but we will need to wait almost 30% longer (depends on what level of the Thunder) for the next shot. :wacko:

yeah but mind the reload, Now's M4 thunder deals 6 shots in 10 seconds

average damage per shot is 80, 6*80=480

 

after update it will be 5 shots in 10 secs, average 97.5

5*97.5=487.5

Not a great change IMHO, I wouldnt like it at all to give my rather fast speed just for 7.5 more damage :)

You're right. Thunder will be nerfed. I still feel it is not too bad because I can see that they only concern Firebird and Ricochet and power-up them again and again but nerfing other turrets at the same time in order to make Firebird and Ricochet to be the ultimate weapons . I was expecting they will only give a few damage points but add 2 sec or more to the reolad to Thunder.

Thunder is just different tbh, not buffed or nerfed

The New Tanki... uhm.... I don't think my computer is gonna be able to be powerful... but when i graduate from High school i will be able to deal with it   :wub:

[the-13-warrior 0]

i think adding a tap to sell stuff you have already bought would be of great use, at least u will feel better when u get rid of stuff u didn't really like after u bought or if u decided to buy all m0 stuff to give em a try.(like i am not asking for a full refund value but like 15-40% is good but still reasonable i think)

It will be nice if Tanki counts the amount of gold boxes you caught and which ones you caught (meaning the special event ones)

What is this update right now about?

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

What is this update right now about?

which one?

[Karma 1,215]

What if I leave the game and when i return it is full how to join back..

I can't wait until the updated micro-upgrades, finally they will be slightly more useful. You will get bigger upgrades for the same price, up until your tank is equivalent to the next modification. So you can have M2 Smoky and M2 Titan at Sergeant...if you can afford it ;)

Even worse, M3 Dictator M3 Rico stats at 1st Lt.

It's scary when you think about it...

Fire M3 at Major...

Stock up on the supplies. You'll need them.

Tanki is becoming a very expensive game to play. It is turning into a buyer's game and buyer's with lots of spare cash at that.

Here is something to think about, add up all the costs of all the micro upgrades. Those M3's will cost you a whole lot more, then if you just waited until the appropriate rank. Just another step towards forcing non buyers out of the game. Buyers will be able to upgrade those brand new m2 as soon as they get them. How are non buyers going to compete against that? Just another smart marketing ploy to encourage you to buy more crystals.

Raiding groups will only grow and the use of mults and cheats will also increase as the demand for crystals becomes overwhelming and turns players to the dark side. Tanki's short sightedness baffles me at times.

Oh, another update, just a few weeks after the last one. It will be another mess up. But it is good because I now have a reason to quit Tanki.

Don't worry.

1M crystals are about 700 USD.

Few people will do this...

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

I can think of at least one group of players from a particular country that will be able to afford to do it. Thier only goal is to get all the crystals and gold boxes at any cost, even if it means using cheats or spending $700 USD to gain an advantage.

Throw in the daily missions to the list. No more 'free goodies' :angry: More excuses to do all of the above as well. This will happen more often and we could do little to stop...

It has become bad enough after last update. Lots of players are now crazily using drugs. Now the daily gifts will be gone soon. I don't like to play the game under "instructions" or to spend some drugs to gain some drugs. I won't do any daily mission, unless by coincident/accident. Once I run out of supply, I am done with Tanki.

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

In my opinion Tank is going completely in the wrong direction. They are making this game a buyers only game, but the cost is way to high for what you get. So many things are missing from this game.  People will buy more if they feel it is an option, but when they are forced to they will not and leave. Good successful business men will confirm this. People are more willing to spend because they want to, not because they have to.

If you've played other online games such as EVE, you'll see that Tanki is actually pretty tame when it comes to things like this. Enticing buyers with (often extremely) expensive goodies is nothing new to the online world, and though it's hard to admit it these days, you can still play well without buying at all. Same can't be said for other games, especially the newer Facebook-type games where you can't do some things at all without buying expensive currencies and often useless trinkets, or by paying to speed up progress. Sad to see but micro-upgrades are heading in that direction by making you wait or pay to advance quickly, but luckily so far there hasn't been other premium currencies introduced into Tanki...yet.
